It is a bad story, unless you hate humanity so much that you believe credit belongs to the shape imposed by operators upon the algebras of equations describing spacetime, rather than... the physicist, mathematician, or kid babysitting the datacentre that shits out a master proof-turd for skeptical verification by people.
Wow! no mercy for us laymans
Thank you @PiHiker, for saving me the time of watching the linked video to figure out how nutritious was the clickbait!

Even the word "unlocked" pisses me off in that story. The similar patterns resulting from two different equations aren't lock and key, even though someone who "listens to the music" just right might find that one simplifies the other; however, from the perspective of mortal humans, the vast majority of whom hear only different hues of noise from either phenomenon, they're both locks, and the genius not only knows how to use one of them as a hammer, but also where to hit.
